Mercury Inflatables
Boat and engine from one dealer
The brand
Mercury matters in Australia for a practical reason that has nothing to do with the tubes: you can buy the inflatable, the outboard and the national service backing from the same brand ecosystem. For a cruiser who values being able to get parts in Gladstone or Geraldton, that is worth real money.
Sold through the national Mercury marine dealer network alongside Mercury outboards.
Our take
The easiest brand in the country to cross-shop as a package: Mercury inflatable + Mercury outboard + national engine support.
